X-Men: Apocalypse Casts Young Cyclops, Jean Grey, & Storm

In the upcoming movie, X-Men: Apocalpyse, it will take the X-Men into
the 1980s and reintroduce younger versions of the characters we all love. Three
of the actors have been finally announced.

Director Bryan Singer announced in a tweet that young Scott
Summers a.k.a Cyclops will be played by Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, will be
starring as young Jean Grey, and Alexandra Shipp will take on the role of young
Ororo Munroe a.k.a Storm. All three actors have been mentioned before in screen
testing rumors and, despite being various shades of newcomer, seem like solid
choices to play the part of the fledgling mutants. X-Men: Apocalypse will
mark the first time that any of these newcomers have starred in a major studio
blockbuster.
